Rockstar Games has removed a fan-made mission simulating the assassination of Charlie Kirk from its popular online crime sim Grand Theft Auto Online, with the publisher even banning the conservative activist's name to prevent similar missions from appearing. As reported by IGN, developer Rockstar North introduced a new feature in the A Safehouse in the Hills update on December 10, allowing GTA Online players to create and share unofficial missions within the game.
An online fundraiser defending Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, is drawing scrutiny for language that injects the Jewish identity of Mayor Jacob Frey into its appeal, a detail critics say is both gratuitous and revealing amid a broader rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric on the right. The fundraiser, hosted on GiveSendGo and promoted by Alpha News reporter Liz Collin, frames Ross as a heroic law enforcement officer acting in self-defense during a chaotic encounter.
It's human nature to judge your personal economics and mood on how you feel, influenced heavily by conscious and subconscious comparisons to others. So it's possible President Trump is right: U.S. growth and stocks soar in 2026. But even then, because the AI-connected hyperwealthy do so much better than everyone else, fear and resentment still grow. It's also possible the AI bubble pops, and everyone suffers. But the Have-Lots will (mostly) still have lots.
These ghosts of our nation drove overdose deaths to record highs during the pandemic. More than 100,000 Americans ODed in a 12-month period ending in April 2021, up almost 30 percent from the prior year. The majority of these deaths of despair, about 70 percent, were among men between the ages of 25 and 54, men who should be creating or influencing or building cars or welding high steel.
He said it would not even be wise to share something like that with your spouse. Now she thinks less of you, and she always will. She's not going to be able to get that out of her head, Walsh said. She might pretend to be sympathetic, or maybe she won't even pretend. What do you want? She's gonna pat you on the head? He continued, She's going to think less of you, and the same goes for anyone you divulge this information to.
Nobody escaped 2020 without hearing of at least a couple of media personalities that became wildly popular amongst conservatives for abandoning the left. They themselves, though, framed things a little differently. "The left left me," they proclaimed. There is something deeply revealing in this statement. These commentators didn't move an inch to the right. Perhaps the best example of this phenomenon is Bari Weiss, former op-ed editor at the New York Times and now editor-in-chief at CBS News.
He posted to mark his return to the media world, writing, Good to see you all. I missed you. Thanks for everything while we worked on cleaning up. Working in the administration was the experience of a lifetime. I'll have some announcements coming up but I'm taking a couple of days to spend with the family. He added: A couple of things: -Thank you for your interest in the show and its return date. We will have something for you soon.
For many Americans raised in conservative Christian environments, faith once felt like a matter of personal conviction and community - not overt political allegiance. But over the past decade, the boundary between belief and ideology has blurred. As religious leaders increasingly endorse candidates from the pulpit and worship music shares space with patriotic anthems, congregations have since fractured over public health measures, immigration, race, and the policing of cultural "morality."
The new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss isn't Barry Goldwater, despite what you may have heard. Noted media critic George Clooney may not be able to tell her apart from Sean Hannity, but Weiss is essentially a 1990s New Republic liberal, someone who might once have edited the inflight magazine of Air Force One during a popular Democratic administration. Of course, even that is now too right-wing for most of the modern American left, including those found in the pages of today's New Republic.
Then unflattering images of Kirk's former colleagues at Turning Point USA whom Owens has suggested were involved in a conspiracy against him as well as Ben Shapiro and Tim Pool are shown. Owens also followed up a shot of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering Kirk, with one of Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy's assassin, in a hardly subtle suggestion that they were both patsies.
At first glance, it looked like a normal Christmas market. The stands, however, revealed a different reality. Among the nativity displays and kitsch decorations were adverts for nationalist newspapers and something called patriot radio. On a wall near the kids' play area, a mural depicted an unlikely cast of characters, tracing a lineage from the fascist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio to the late American Maga influencer Charlie Kirk.
I mean I don't write notes or anything like that. I always just go with what I've been thinking about. I'm just so offended by it. And what I should have said-which I think all the time is: How is hating all Muslims better than hating all Jews? And the answer, obviously, is it's not. And does that mean hating their children? Do we have to hate their children? I guess we do? Their ancestors, their grandchildren? The whole thing is disgusting.
This month, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, traveled to Nashville, Tenn., to meet with Candace Owens, a podcaster who has become the premier purveyor of conspiracy theories about her husband's murder. Soon after, Owens had on her show a man who claimed to have seen Erika Kirk at an army base the day before Kirk's assassination, implying that Erika was somehow part of the plot against her husband.
"Project 2025 was an effort of more than 100 organizations convened by Heritage to prepare for the next conservative administration," a Heritage spokesperson told "That administration is now in office, so all policy and personnel decisions are up to the president and his team. ... There is no Project 2026 and will not be, regardless of what leftist lunatics make up on BlueSky."
Kevin Williamson was fired from the Atlantic for an old tweet in which he suggested that women who procure abortions should receive the same punishment given to murderers. Well, like millions of Americans, Williamson believes abortion is murder; QED. You might disagree with his premise or his conclusions, but the sentiment itself is not exactly fringe stuff, or particularly surprising coming from a socially conservative commentator.
At the BKA conference, she was discussing democracy in Germany. "At dinners with perfectly ordinary colleagues and friends who love their country, I often hear them say after the second glass of wine, that they're considering whether they should leave the country," Buyx said. "Should leave," meaning they don't want to. Buyx didn't name the particular threat. But every police officer in the room knows who she's talking about: the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
This was once one of America's whitest states, with far more Scandinavians than the descendants of slaves. It was (and still is) one of the most progressive states in the union. The lack of awareness of the dangers of diversity seemingly encouraged white liberals in the state to try their hand at Scandinavian-style social democracy. Just like in Sweden, it drew some of the worst migrants in the world. Ordinary Minnesotans now pay the price.
